> SAG-AFTRA forces productions to give speaking roles to union members and also restricts union eligibility SAG does not force productions to do anything. The production can either use union or not use union. What they can't do is use cherry pick talent. Your best talent is going to be a SAG member. And since it's a union you either get all or none.

    "You either sell only laptops with intel CPU's or we will ship no CPU's to you at all!" Sounds like a clear antitrust case to me.

      Exclusivity clauses like that are perfectly legal except in a few rare cases where companies have an unusually high amount of market dominance.

  "Union" and "trust" even mean the same thing.
